Abstract: Bridge piers having a nonuniform cross section over their height are termed as compound bridge piers. Mostly circular piers resting on large diameter wells or caissons (termed here as a circular compound bridge pier) are ...

Abstract: The experimental observations are presented on flow patterns and turbulence characteristics measured by an acoustic Doppler velocimeter within the developing (transient stage) scour hole around circular uniform and compound ...

Abstract: A rainfall intensity‐duration‐frequency relationship is needed for planning and design of water resources projects. Little information is available about rainfall intensities, in particular for short durations. Data from ...

Abstract: Extensive studies on the temporal evolution of scour were recently conducted at Versuchsanstalt für Wasserbau, Hydrologie und Glaziologie VAW, ETH Zürich, Switzerland, along with a computational model for the scour depth ...

Abstract: The results of an experimental study on scour under submerged circular vertical jets of water in cohesionless and cohesive sediments are presented. The difference between scour patterns in cohesionless and cohesive sediments ...

Abstract: Experimental results on sediment removal efficiency of vortex chamber type sediment extractors are reported. A geometric configuration of the extractor is identified that is able to remove even the fine sediment

Abstract: A spatially distributed rainfall–runoff–soil erosion model capable of handling catchment heterogeneity in terms of landuse, soil, slope, and rainfall has been developed and applied to data from several catchments. The model ...
